I decided that I loved writing my “No Holes Barred” Post Labour Questions so much that I wanted to reach out to my fellow mummy blogger and read some of there guest responses.

With that I have launched my Guest Series Of No Holes Barred and next up on the blog to share there Experiences is Kelly from Jelly with the Belly. Kelly writes about plus size ladies which I am a massive fan of that niche and life in general.

Here’s Kelly’s answers below, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. Don’t forget to check out Kellys blog and social links- Go say hello and tell her I sent you!

Did your partner look down the business end while you gave birth? If he did do you remember his facial impression of what he saw?He did and honestly I was actually totally shocked. I seriously had him pegged as a fainter and he did not look half as traumatised as I thought he would do. I was convinced he would never look at me lustfully again after seeing my nuni with a doctor elbow deep but hey who knew how resilient men can be.

Did you poop during labour?No thankfully despite being convinced I would do. To be fair I hadn’t eaten barely anything as I’d spent most of the day in slow labour pacing. It then turned in to needing an emergency section so I think that might of also had something to do with. After everything I felt I went through I was so grateful to avoid that final little indignity.

After giving birth did your sex drive improve or decrease?I think my want definitely increased, my ability or inclination totally decreased. I loved the idea of having sex but actually doing it was a whole other ball game.

Where you tempted to look at your bits in the mirror post labour to see what it looked like?

No, never. If I wanted to see what the floor of a butcher’s looked like I would pop to the local shop.

Did you wait the recommended 6 weeks before part taking in sexual intercourse post birth

I think yes with the first but no with the second. Probably because my first was an emergency section and my second a VBAC (vagina birth after caesarean).

Do you find you take Less care of your self since becoming a parent?

Yes naturally I did. I totally envy yummy mummies. It was a miracle some days if I managed to brush my hair but thankfully I through that stage now.

Is your child a cock block? AKA do they interrupt your sex life?

Mine is 11 now and still manages to cock block – I’m looking forward to the “locking themselves in their bedroom” teenage years.

Did your first child make you think carefully about when the right time to have a second child is?

It’s not something we really had much choice in as I have PCOS and we struggled to conceive so it wasn’t a case of the first child as such just that we knew we’d have to start trying relatively quickly because it would take us long. It was more nature led than child led.

Do you finish your children food if they leave it and it looks quiet tasty?

I used to just blend up whatever we were having so it was pretty much always tasty and edible. Nowadays he does not know what the term leftover is so that would most definitely be a no.

Have your breasts changed post birth?

They were big and vaguely resembled spaniel’s ears pre birth and post birth they have exactly that same aesthetic going on. Tucked in my sock tops has been my reality since about 19.

Dropped…no. Accidentally allowed to take a little commando roll off the bed…absolutely.

How often do you pretend to be on the toilet longer then you need to be for 5 minutes peace?

I do that now just to avoid the dog. I don’t remember doing it much, which clearly means I did.

What is the first thing you choose to do if you get the rare opportunity to be child free and you don’t have to go to work that day?

Just sit still, in the quiet and enjoy a nice cup of coffee without rushing. Then I catch up with my TV shows.

Whats you honest feelings on parenting?

I really do believe parenting is the hardest job a person can ever do. You will experience extreme highs and lows like you never thought imaginable. After all is said and done there is a little person walking this Earth because of you.

Kelly’s Fave Snapchat Filter

Oh my god Kelly I feel like you could be my soul sister! Your hillarious and I like to think I can be too and we have alot in common with regards to PCOS, Spaniel boobs and calling our bits a Nuni!

Thank you so much for featuring in my guest post and giving me such a giggle, hope you guys like it too.

Great night life- Entertainment was fab they cater for the British taste so well with drag queens and cabarets.

Fabulous day trips from Zoos, Water parks and quad biking.

Lovely beaches- mainly sandy not stoney so lovely to walk on.

#3 Amsterdam

Last but by no means least is Amsterdam – Again a place I have visited multiple times;

I love the scenery and views they are second to none the age old buildings mixed with some modern architecture.

Travel options from England of air or ferry depending on the length of trip you want- I personally think the ferry makes part of the trip and enjoy that alot.

They offer great forms of transport whether it be foot, bike or taxi.

Amsterdam is famous for the being very open within the adult industry and this makes for some very interesting sites.

Shopping is also incredible here too.

If you are looking for a holiday in Europe or abroad any time in the near future why not check out these Special Offers to help you along the way.

Where has been your favourite place to visit in Europe and Why?

I would love to hear to give me inspiration for either a weekend of Adult time or even better a great family vacation.

Also-have you ever suffered the inconvenience and nightmare time of a flight delay? Worse still been stuck with Irritable children in a air port while waiting for the delayed flight?

This has to be my idea of hell. Maybe this might make that suffering a little bit less of a bad memory.

Did you know if you have suffered a delayed flight you can claim compensation here.

Lastly do you or anyone you know suffer with travel anxiety? Since becoming a mum I’m sure a worry wort! In the back of my mind it’s always thinking what if this happens or that happens. Something is always on my mind when we are away from home and it can impact on your holiday and chill time.

Have you ever suffered an accident or something while travelling that makes you super anxious? If so maybe his can help you, here.

Many of you may be entitled to claim so what have you got to lose- go find out now.

Every year I try to think of new an exciting ideas for my son to make the build up to Christmas truly Magical, this year is the first year he is starting to understand it more and more and I cannot wait to see the magic of Santa unfold .

What better way to get the hype of Christmas started than a personalised letter from Santa as well as other lovely goodies.

The letter arrives in a lovely high quality Christmas themed envelope which I could not show you for obvious reasons as I don’t fancy a Santa wannabe slipping down my chimney before the main event.

Inside the envelope is a great quality very realistic looking shabby chic letter addressed from Santa and it contains alot of personal information which if you have a child who is currently semi doubting Santa this may keep the belief a little bit longer.

When you click to order the letter you are asked a couple of questions about the child its for when enables them to personalise you letter perfectly.

Also with the letter is a certificate to let the child they are on the nice list- Maybe if they have been a little tinker you could pop this to one side until they start behaving. Or even better if you have an Elf on the Shelf type character in your house they could deliver the certificate for you.

There are 2 cute blank pictures to colour in- these are going in our Christmas eve basket to help the evening go buy quicker so Santa comes quicker of course. Nothing to do with the large glass of baileys and copious amounts of quality streets.

Last but not least A door hanger to remind Santa to stop by our house and some reindeer food to keep the reindeer’s prancing around all night on there travels.

We absolutely love this letter and all the accessories I am super impressed with the quality.

I was sent this letter to review but all opinions are honest and my own. I would love to offer you a unique code for you to receive 30% off the cost of the letters for your little ones.

Do you have an christmas Traditions in your house? I would love to hear them

Dare I say that dreaded word to alot of peoples ears in October, CHRISTMASSSSSSSS . Yes I did it I said the C word in October Christmas.

For the last god knows how many years the build up the Christmas for kids has meant opening a countdown calendar that contains a chocolate which taste no better than a doggy drop unless your super posh and your parents splashed out on Cadburys, which I wasn’t lucky enough to get until I started buying my own, The cheek!

This all change 2 or 3 years ago when some Genius created something for us ladies- Beauty advent calendars!!! Hallelujah.

So today i’m going to review the 3 Calendars that i’m leaning towards mostly at Superdrug and hopefully you can help me decide which one to buy.

First up is Make up Revolution 2017 advent calendar- This seems a steal at just £30 but originally priced at £50. This is a large Calendar which opens like a book.

Designed to suit our Revoholic’s, this calendar contains products for eyes, face and lips! The most fun way to count down to our favourite day of the year, you will find a product behind every door. Perfect for the makeup lover and enthusiast this Christmas with this amazing array of products to expand your collection for 2018!

This one also accommodates Christmas day which i find alot of calendars do not, Also you get a Pallet on the last day!! Amazing.

I think I know where i’m leaning towards already- I can tell the hubby it doubles up as a new window sill decoration too so saves me buying something else as well. That will work right?

Last but by all means least is every blogger and you tube addicts woman crush, Tanya Burrs 12 Sweet Days Calendar this is currently £20 down for £30.

12 Sweet Days Beauty Calender – The countdown to the party season is on with my 12 Sweet Days Beauty Calendar! Behind every door there’s an extra special limited edition treat so you can shimmer and sparkle on every occasion. It’s up to you how to open the calendar. You could open one door everyday from 1 December or one door every other day. You could even open it from Christmas Day. Whatever you decide, I hope you love it and have a wonderful Christmas.

Tanya’s calendar pulls me from pillow to post. Its super cute, It supports a passion of mine which is watching you tube and helps them keep creating fab content. One thing that I just cannot avoid is that it is only 12 days. What am I suppose to do for the other 13 days of Christmas build up… Buy 2 maybe?

If you had to pick on Calendar which would it be? Or do you prefer a classic Chocolate Calendar?

Don’t forget to check out my last post of an Interview with my 2 year old its super cute.

I decided that I loved writing my “No Holes Barred” Post Labour Questions so much that I wanted to reach out to my fellow mummy blogger and read some of there guest responses.

With that I have launched my Guest Series Of No Holes Barred and next up on the blog to share there Experiences is Jade from Jades Long Journey. Jade writes about everything from Babies to adult stuff and her content is right up my street.

Here’s Jades answeres below, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. Don’t forget to check out Jades blog and social links- Go say hello and tell her I sent you!

Did your partner look down the business end while you gave birth? If he did do you remember his facial impression of what he saw?

Haha no during both labours. My first (son) he was shoved into a corner as I was 12 weeks early, I remember him saying he didn’t feel too good once he saw all the fluids and blood that had just poured out of me. The second time (daughter) he was half across the pennines with Dad going to watch rugby.

Did you poop during labour?

Every woman’s fear but thank the Lord and all the other God’s that I did not poop one single nugget.

After giving birth did your sex drive improve or decrease?

Decrease for a while, a long while haha. It is back to normal but after my second I just really couldn’t be bothered and I don’t think going on the pill has helped.

Where you tempted to look at your bits in the mirror post labour to see what it looked like?

The first time no the second time yes. It felt like it was the first gates of hell down there as I had a graze (think paper cut on your mini). I had a peak it was um roadkill I think is the correct word to describe it.

Did you wait the recommended 6 weeks before part taking in sexual intercourse post birth?

Yes and it was needed to be honest both births.

Do you find you take Less care of your self since becoming a parent?

After my first I still put the effort in but after my second, who cares if you have yesterday’s clothes on and just touched up yesterday’s make-up!

Is your child a cock block? AKA do they interrupt your sex life?

Hmm yes and no so they don’t physically walk in or anything but I think my daughter can sense when I’m not in the mood, as she will all of a sudden wake up and cry and cry. So liam isn’t best pleased.

Did your first child make you think carefully about when the right time to have a second child is?

I always knew I wanted a 4 year gap, I wanted the time with my first to enjoy watching them grow and learn. I was lucky it panned out really. Both kids actually had the same due date too.

Do you finish your children food if they leave it and it looks quiet tasty?

I’ve literally just been eating it as I type. Liam and I sometimes even bagsie the leftovers -_-

Have your breasts changed post birth?

No much to my disappointment. I never got these beautiful big breast during pregnancy and none change to them at all.

Do you wee your self post birth?

A little every now and then. If I really need to go I just can’t hold it like I used to be able to.

Have you ever dropped your baby accidentally?

No I did fall down the stairs whilst carry my son. Thankfully we were both fine I just bruised my ankle and couldn’t really walk in it for a few days.

How often do you pretend to be on the toilet longer then you need to be for 5 minutes peace?

I wish I could get away with this but everything I go to the toilet the dog shoved her head round the door. I can never pee or poo in peace.

What is the first thing you choose to do if you get the rare opportunity to be child free and you don’t have to go to work that day?

This is very rare and only happens when we have plans. The last time we were child free we went to Taco Bell then went to see Blink182 in Leeds.

Whats you honest feelings on parenting?

It’s tiring, draining, non stop always on the go craziness. It’s so full of poo if the baby isn’t crapping herself then the boy is wanting his arse checked. I sometimes feel like I’m going crazy but the cuddles and funny moments make it the best thing I’ve ever done with my life. With my son being so early and my daughter having to be stitched in it being a parent has really pushed me to many limits and I’ve learnt so much about what I can do and what liam and I can get through. I don’t even care if that’s cliché.

Thank you so much for taking time to answers these questions Jade, I love the age gap between your children that is the ideal gap for me too so I have the same precious one on one time with the second one like I have the first, fingers cross it happens that way.Thank you for being so open and honest too!

Ive been tagged by Emily over at her blog to do the Interview with my Toddler Tag.

I thought this would be super funny and semi interesting as Parker’s word linking and speech is still under massive development due to his age but I know what he is saying 99% of the time and he is a funny character so I thought why not! I asked Parker these while he was devouring his fave Jam Sandwich- So here Goes:

What’s the best thing about being 2?

Mummy Daddy Parker awwwwww ( I think he means he loves his family at the age of 2 and this will change in 15 years when i’m telling him off haha)

What makes you laugh?

Andyyyyyyyyy hahahahaha ( Andy and his prehistoric adventures is his favourite thing to watch and he roams about pretending hes a dinosaur while roaring watching this, then laughs at himself for it)

I decided that I loved writing my “No Holes Barred” Post Labour Questions so much that I wanted to reach out to my fellow mummy blogger and read some of there responses.

With that I have launched my Guest Series Of No Holes Barred and first up on the blog to share there Experiences is Catherine from Passports and Adventures. Catherine writes about family lifestyle and travel and also has a little boy too his Nickname is Battle Kid and I love that.

Here’s Catherine’s answered below, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. Don’t forget to check out Catherine’s blog and social links- Go say hello and tell her I sent you!

Did your partner look down the business end while you gave birth?If he did do you remember his facial impression of what he saw?He certainly wasn’t down that end when I actually gave birth to our son as we were rushed into theatre on the assumption I was having a C-section. The doctor asked to try to deliver our son naturally using forceps and had to give me an episiotomy to aid that procedure. So, my husband was nowhere near the business end for that. I don’t remember any facial expressions as I was high on gas and air (what a wonderful thing that is), but he did tell me afterwards that he was very worried about us both, particularly our son as the midwife had lost his heartbeat twice on the monitor he had out on his head (while still inside me).

Did you poop during labour?Yes. Despite being out of it on gas and air, I definitely remember pooping during second stage labour. I think my husband was a bit surprised but not the professionals. They’ve seen it all before I guess.

After giving birth did your sex drive improve or decrease?My sex drive took a nose dive. Having had an episiotomy that needed a repair 13 days after giving birth, my first time to have a general anaesthetic, it took me 16 weeks in total to stop bleeding and to feel like things were ‘getting back to normal’, whatever that is after you have a child. It took a long time, and a few glasses of wine to even attempt that first time.

Where you tempted to look at your bits in the mirror post labour to see what it looked like?I did look in a mirror in the few days after birth to check the stitches from my episiotomy. That’s when I, and then my husband, realised things didn’t look like they should have. My husband took me to see a private doctor to be examined, as my community midwives kept saying “it’ll heal with time” and he didn’t like the sound of that. The consultant I saw in a local Bupa hospital took one look at it and asked “who is looking after you? That will never heal on its own” and two days later I was having surgery to repair the episiotomy under him via the NHS. Not the best experience to have with your first child.

Did you wait the recommended 6 weeks before part taking in sexual intercourse post birth?It was a lot longer than that due to the length of time it took for me to feel somewhat normal with my episiotomy.

Do you find you take Less care of your self since becoming a parent?Yes. Your entire focus shifts to looking after a baby and, especially in the first 6 months, I didn’t take very good care of myself. My weight dropped quite a bit due to breastfeeding and exhaustion looking after a newborn. I didn’t get my hair cut until my son was 6 months old and I was still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes, despite me being almost two sizes smaller. Once things finally started to settle down and I felt somewhat back to normal, I got my hair cut, bought new clothes and started eating better once we hit the weaning stage as I was cooking for a baby as well.

Even now, with my son coming up for 4, I still focus on him rather than myself. It’s rare I get time to myself and I am regularly buying clothes and things for him before myself. I guess that’s what happens when you have children.

Is your child a cock block? AKA do they interrupt your sex life?Yes, mainly due to the fact that my husband and I are too tired at the end of the day to be bothered. All we want to do once our son is in bed is flake on the couch and watch a programme or two before falling into bed at 10pm. We haven’t had a night away together since he was born as we have no babysitters and no family to look after him for us. We also haven’t had a dinner date without him along for the ride. We wouldn’t change it for the world but it does mean our sex life is not what it used to be.

Did your first child make you think carefully about when the right time to have a second child is?We haven’t had a second child, mainly due to my experience during, and after, the birth of our son. I didn’t want to take the chance I’d have the same or a similar experience and so it has meant we haven’t had a second child. Now, as time marches on and mental wounds start to heal, I am even more reluctant to consider another child due to my age, the risk factors and the fact I couldn’t face going back to those newborn days. I think if I had had a more positive experience first time around, I’d have had another child by now.

Do you finish your children’s food if they leave it and it looks quiet tasty?Occasionally I do. However, it is not often my son leaves food on his plate. He is quite a good eater and so I’d be lucky to find something tasty left on his plate to munch on.

Have your breasts changed post birth?Yes they have. I breastfed my son for almost eight months and that has definitely contributed to their change. Also, they are naturally smaller due to the weight loss I experienced too. They are certainly not as pert as they were beforehand.

Do you wee your self post birth?No, that is one thing I am thankful for. Once I knew my wounds were healing, I started doing my pelvic floor exercises and continue to do them (when I remember them). I really do think they have helped in that department.

Have you ever dropped your baby accidentally?Not dropped him, but he did once fall off our bed when he was about 9 months old. I put him in the centre of the bed, a super-king bed, and he managed to roll over and off the bed in a matter of seconds as I was getting changed. He was absolutely fine but the mum guilt was horrendous. From that day on I put him on the floor!

How often do you pretend to be on the toilet longer then you need to be for 5 minutes peace?Everyday! It is the only 5 minute peace I can get as a mum to a pre-schooler. And even then I often have him at the door knocking or calling for something or other.

What is the first thing you choose to do if you get the rare opportunity to be child free and you don’t have to go to work that day?Truth be told, probably blog work. It is impossible to get anything done with him around and I am so grateful for kindergarten. But if I am up-to-date with the blog, then I can be found enjoying a hot cup of tea and slice of cake in a café before hitting the shops. I go with the intention of treating myself but invariably come back with things for my son!

Whats you honest feelings on parenting?Parenting is by far the hardest job in the world. It is also the most rewarding. And I’ve also learned that the wise words a neighbour gave us a few years back are completely true. You will always love your child, but you won’t necessarily like them all the time. We love our son dearly and would give our lives for him, but there are times when he really tests our patience. He is a confident little dude but with it comes a stubbornness and defiant streak that, when it surfaces, can really test our limits. That said, when he throws his arms around us and says “I love you so much”, and means it, you know it’s worth it and you’re doing something right.

I also completely admire single parents who are raising their children single-handedly. I really don’t know how they do it without a partner to help out. Even with my husband now around every evening (he used to work away during the week), it’s damn hard and I take my hat off to all the single mums and dads of this world.

Last but not least insert a picture of you with your favourite snap chat filter.

When I was approached by Beauty Base to take part in there Make up Dupes challenge I jumped at the chance!

I love make up and I love bargains, bring them both together and what have you got… BOOM this challenge.

A chance to try new make up and try them out next to super expensive high end brands, I would of been crazy not too.

I got to pick 3 Dupe products from Beauty Base and try them up against 3 high end products that I already owned.

For each product I am going to rate there Packaging, Colour Pay off, Staying Power, Price and score out of 10 and would I stick with the High end or Twist and buy the Dupe from now on, so without further a do lets do this!

From Beauty Base I chose W7 Big blush Pallet an absolute steal at £6.99 to try up against Urban Decay Flushed pallet checking out at a whooping £25.00 so here’s my thoughts-

Packaging- I love the tin packaging. Super sturdy and wipe clean.

Colour Pay off- Not as great as I thought it was going to be but with a few good swirls I managed to pick up enough colour to pigment my cheeks. This will however mean the product will not last as long.

Staying Power- This was okay, But because the pigment wasn’t great to start off with I feel it fell off quite easy.

Price- Amazing price £6.99 for 6 Blushes just over a pound each so you really cannot complain.

Score and Stick or Twist- I’m going to give this a 5 out of 10 its a neither here nor there product for me and on this occasion I am going to STICK to my high end blush.

Packaging- Again its the classic tin packaging, Whats not to love? It also has a massive mirror which is super handy- Big thumbs up from me.

Colour Pay off- Great colour pay off i’m really impressed and the brush is fab! Generally you find a free brush is only good for one thing… The bin! Not this one! There is no picture with this one because there will be a makeup look coming soon with this pallet.

Staying Power- A Star well done Technic you have smashed it. Didn’t budge. Even after a drunken nights sleep because I didn’t wash my face oops.

Price- £6.99 crazy cheap as I would say this is the equivalent to 2 Naked shadow pallets at £40 a go!!

Score and Stick or Twist– Drum roll please….. I would give this a strong 9 and i’m going to TWIST and buy this from now on and not the Naked pallets.

Last but not least I chose a lippy from Milani Colour statement Lipstick Matte in Blissful. Ive been a sucker for Mac lippy for years and its been my go to treat when I go for a day out shopping to build my Collection but at £22 a lippy I could by 4 of these Milani ones so lets see how they measure up.

Packaging- Elegant packaging that could pass for high end all day long. I love the peep of colour at the end of the bullet so you don’t have to undo every lipstick to find the one you want.

Colour Pay off- AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG, Couldn’t believe it with a feather like swipe there was pure pink solid goodness all over my hand.

Staying Power- No lippy stays on me all day as I kiss Parker 3 million times an hour and drink like a fish but this with stood alot.

Price- £6.00

Score and Stick or Twist- I have to give this gorgeous lippy a big fat 10/10 and without a doubt I will be TWISTING and purchasing no more mac because why wouldnt I want to get 4 high quality lipsticks for the price of 1 high end.

Over all I am massively impressed with Beauty Base so much so I already have things sat in my basket ready to purchase on payday.

Have you got a product dupe that you tried once and never looked back? I would love to try more if you have some suggestions.

Hope you enjoyed this challenge

Yes these products were sent to my by Beauty Base for this challenge but all views are honest and my own and I have not received any payment for this.

Also Dont forget to check out my £60 worth of make up for 56p Blogpost.

So if you haven’t noticed already by some of my posts I bloody love a good bargain and I love make up!

Recently I scored possibly my biggest beauty bargain yet.

I found out not so long ago by a facebook group called extreme bargains and couponing uk that you should always check right at the back of Boots stores for a reduce to clear rack.

Ive been checking every week mainly looking for reduced baby things weather it be food clothes etc. I’ve had the odd bargain but today i struck it lucky and for a change for me and not for Parker.

Make up has been a big part of my life since being 16 and doing beauty therapy at college, As part of the course you had to have a full face of make up on every day to look the part for clients and since then I have followed this everyday and do not leave the house without my face on.

Since having Parker I have had to make cut backs on luxuries such as £40 foundation and £22 lipstick, its not realistic to spend when you have a growing child who needs things constantly.

Today my luck changed, I could have what I wanted and it only cost me 56p thanks to a combination of reduced products, 3 for 2 and a voucher from Valued opinions.

Valued opinions is an app where you answer surveys to earn money that you can convert into vouchers and I earn £10 quite frequently so this time I chose a £10 boots voucher.

I went with the intention of buying a foundation and having to put money towards, but after checking the reduced shelf I found all of the below ranging from £1-£2. There was nothing wrong with anything it was purely because the manufacturer had made new packaging so this current one didn’t look right on the shelf with new packaging.

My total spend was £10.56 minus my £10 voucher I spend just 56p….. and this included a 5p Carrier bag!!! Jackpot.

Yes its not my usual foundation and yes I look paler than normal but over all i’m impressed.

I bought 2 bottles of the Maybelline super stay 24 hours as foundation is always the dearest part of a make up look and at £1.50 each I just couldn’t pass it up, The consistency is thicker than I am used to which means a more full coverage look which is nice but I am browner than I thought so I look pretty washed out in the shade in this pic but I will bronze it up in future.

The mascara is also Maybelline and I really like it- Its a comb effect brush which really parts the lashes to make them look longer.

Eyebrow Pencil by Barry M cosmetics is good- I dont really lean towards and brow pencils i find them all the same although I prefer a powder.

Concealer was lovely and creamy again maybelline- easy to blend and great coverage.

Last but not least pink lipstick from Barry M- Im trying to get more into wearing lippy so this is a nice pale shade to start introducing colour with.
